Went for an evening stroll out to the bee hives with my husband. Have done this since receiving the nucs on April 19th. Usually don't dress for the occasion, just t-shirt and jeans. Tonight I had on a black tank top. Was just standing there watching a bunch of bees sitting on their front porch when suddenly I looked down and there was a honeybee steady trying to drill through my shirt, then there was another, and another. Thats when I decided it was time to run. My husband said he never saw me move quite so fast. Funny guy. As I ran I had to knock one out of my hair. By this time I'm freaked! Hes yelling at me, take off the shirt, take off the shirt! Not outside in public, even if it is way back in the woods. Just as I hit the door after trampeling through the patch of sunflower and borage seeds we just planted, she got me. Right on the neck. Owwww, that hurt. When my husband finally makes it back, he says,"Ya know I think they do have facial recognition". Like I said, funny guy. I haven't been stung since I was a little kid walking barefoot through front yard clover. LOOOONNNGG time ago. But seriously, do you think they came after me because I had on a black shirt?
Learned my lesson.
